Blackened salmon, macaroni and cheese, yams and greens, lamb marinated overnight, red beans and rice, and Cajun crab claws.
Welcome to A Family Affair, celebrating Southern food, which is more than comfort. It's Black culture.
"In Black History Month, it's great for us to share our community, but I also learned a lot about others," owner Jakiya Terrell said.
Open since 2021, besties and self-proclaimed "soul sisters" Terrell and Brittany Bryant said their mission is to serve.
"We're trying to teach as well as reach, and that's to reach the community and others after that. We see little kids, we want to see their report cards," Bryant said. "So it's more so just about building our community in every way possible, and food has just been our avenue to serve."
Entrees at A Family Affair come with two sides and one delicious honey butter cornbread muffin.
They offer baked, blackened and fried meats, and you've got to experience the Soul Rolls.
"It's macaroni and cheese. I'm tasting the yams," ABC7's Rachel Brown said, as she tried this menu favorite.
"Yes. It's all of our favorite soul dishes in one bite."
The best of the best is rolled into a dough, and deep fried to deliciousness.
Don't forget to save room for dessert.
"German chocolate cake?" Brown said, with glee. "Yes. Oh, my favorite."
Currently located inside the Buddha Market, A Family Affair offers to-go orders.
A fire three years ago forced the owners to relocate and rebuild, echoing a familiar story in Black history where adversity is met with resilience.

"Our community has followed us through every phase," Bryant said. "It feels so rewarding. It feels that we're doin' something right"
A Family Affair is open six days a week, closed on Wednesdays. They also offer catering for all your special events.
"Food, kind of like music, brings people together and it's like a safe space, and I like to be a part of that," Terrell said.
